Mexico's Rx For A Better Brain!

                         Use Spices and Herbs! 

Concerned about brain aging? Are you fearful of becoming forgetful, 

or worse--getting dementia or Alzheimer's?
Well, a new study revealed that adding some herbs and spices to 

your meals or making a tea out of them may reverse and even prevent
ailments that affect the brain. 

You can go back and look at our post on Turmeric, the golden
spice popular in some parts of India, and where the rates of
dementia and Alzheimer's are extremely low.

And today, the same thing is being said about an herb that's
popular in Central and South America.
The Herb: Cilantro! Also known as "Mexican Parsley!"
Fresh cilantro is an acquired taste, but you can add it to a smoothie or mix and match it with other herbs and spices to mask the taste.
And yrs. of research done on mice has shown great promise in terms of restoring the brain back to it's original state.

How does it work?
The herb is a potent antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal with little
to no side effects. and i
t improves circulation to the brain, imparting
mental concentration 
and memory.
Another benefit: Cilantro can help usher out some of the mercury in
your system, especially for those who are fans of fish.

So, if memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer's is something you want to prevent,
go the natural route and add some parsley, basil, cilantro, coriander
and turmeric to soups, smoothies, stews, guacamole or add them
all to a mug of hot water, let steep for 5 mins. and then sip slowly.

Good Luck!

South America's Food Rx For A Strong Heart!

                        Beans and Heart Health!
It's no secret-people from South American countries love their beans, the way
American love their burgers and fries.
If you want to live a long and healthy life, you should probably go with the beans.
More specifically pinto beans. Why pinto beans?

They're a cholesterol-erasing powerhouse, how so?
The beans are high in soluble fiber, which binds to cholesterol in the intestines,
escorting it out of the body.
Plus, the beans contain a unique type of starch that releases a chemical that prevents new cholesterol from forming.

So, if you want to be heart healthy like your South American counterparts,
add pinto beans to stir-fries, soups and Mexican dishes.
And if calories are a concern- make sure to buy the vegetarian refined pinto beans
in a can or dry pinto beans.

That's It- Your natrual Rx for lowering cholesterol.

Good Luck!
